Likes: besides food, tummy rubs, exchanging love letters with Zubee and cuddling with her peeps: barking!
Pet-Peeves: Buddy, the doorbell, Buddy, trespassers (real or imagined, bi-ped or quadriped, Buddy), not being able to be with her people 24/7 and did I mention Buddy?
Favorite Toy: Used tissues from the wastebasket (yuck!) and latex squeeky things
Favorite Food: Oh, if only I were allowed to find that out!
Favorite Walk: Any walk is a favorite walk. Lately I love the dog park where I don't have to be double-leashed to Buddy and I can still run free even though I can't see anymore.
Best Tricks: sit and shake (give paw), roll over, and sneaking food out from wherever there is any.
Arrival Story: Humane Society called to say they had a small dog matching my requested profile. I went early the next day and was first to visit her and first to put down money. She is my first ever dog and we all love her!
Bio: Lexie was turned in to the pound as a stray, but my zookeeper neighbor believes she is a purebred as her tail is docked and ears clipped, and she looks purebred. We'll probaby never know, but it doesn't matter anyway.
Lexie began to lose her sight early in 2009 and we found out she suffers from retinal atrophy. She has adapted to blindness and does very well.

As you know, my boypup Zubee is part of a large pack of pups. His newest sibling, Pumpkin (http://www.dogster.com/dogs/1072415) got very sick this morning. He had bad diarrhea with blood in it and was rushed to his vet. He is bleeding internally and has lost lots of blood. He went into shock this afternoon and the vet said it was touch and go and that he might not make it through the night! Zubee is really upset and so is his entire family. It came on so suddenly and so violently.
Please keep Pumpkin and his family in your thoughts and prayers. They've been having computer issues and can't get on to Dogster at this time, so I will keep you updated as I hear more news. &hearts Lexie
Mom is reading a lot lately about books and how they are categorized, classified, cataloged, disseminated, preserved and who knows what else. She said there is incunabula in the library where she works, and that just is a fancy way of saying there are some really old books out there that were printed within the first 50 years after the printing press came on the scene.
Now, I have tasted many books. I have tasted kids books, one poetry book, more kids books, a thick and juicy city phonebook and one or two public library volumes. Those were especially interesting, lots of exotic flavors. But now that I know about incunabula, I want to taste that! I asked Mom if she could bring some home, but she said no. I told her she is denying me an experience of historic proportions. She said that libraries worldwide are denying me said experience.
Buddy's lump turned out to be the histiocytoma that Mom had guessed and hoped it would be, instead of something worse. I was planning on taking out a quick life insurance policy on him, just in case. Guess he'll be around for a while longer.
I know that sounds awful, and I don't mean it in such a bad way. I mean, think of all the good I could do with a nice $50,000 payout? I'm only taking advantage of possibilities, not wishing for them to appear. Buddy's okay. He's not my favorite thing in the world, but there is technically more dog food in the house because of him. I think I'm just digging my hole deeper with each sentence. Phooey.
